STEM News

Brought to you by the Freeland Chief Science Officers

Welcome!

It is such an honor to be launching the very first official Freeland Community STEM Newsletter on the behalf of the Chief Science Officers (CSO) program. In case you are not familiar with the CSOs, this newsletter is a part of my “Action Plan”, which is an event or activity that each CSO must complete in the school year that promotes or enriches STEM awarness in our community or school. Thanks to the weekly readers of this newsletter, I will be able to successfully carry out my Action Plan! To find out more, please visit the chiefscienceofficers.org. I hope you will enjoy these upcoming newsletters with your weekly dose of STEM.
